Well first off, I think I read this a long time ago after it was first released but still read it again. Back then It was hard for me to find anything by Keri Arthur. This is her first book from way back when. She is now a New York Times Best Seller. It was a pretty quick easy read. I believe the first book gives you enough information to want to read the rest of the series. ( )

Seriously cannot *stand* some of the tropes in this series, but the world building is good. ( )

This is an ongoing couple series. Enjoyable read, vampires are both the good and bad guys.

I've been wanting to check out this series for a while, so when Netgalley had this book for review because a new book in the series is coming out soon I snapped it up.

I'll say right up front, this book, even though it is urban fantasy, definitely has more of a paranormal romance vibe at times. Since I don't particularly love the meant-to-be romantic trope, those parts weren't for me, but YMMV.

What I did like was the overall plot. While reading the opening scenes, I thought they would be nothing more than that, opening scenes. Something to introduce me to the characters but nothing I needed to particularly care about. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Every bit of this book mattered to the plot. Nothing was solved or healed or fixed until the very end. And that I loved. That's what is going to have me checking out the next book in the series.

Dancing with the Devil is the first book in the Nikki & Michael series. It was just OK. It started off good; Nikki has telekinetic abilities and Michael is a vampire. He is hunting another vampire that happens to be hunting Nikki. There was a little too much woe is me from Nikki and it bogged down the story, IMO. The ending was a bit abrupt too.

Book description
Private Investigator Nikki James grew up on the tough streets of Lyndhurst and believes there's nothing left to surprise her. All that changes the night she follows teenager Monica Trevgard into the shadows-and becomes a pawn caught in a war between two very different men. One fills her mind with his madness, the other pushes his way into her life-and her heart. Nikki knows how dangerous love can be, but if she wants to survive, she must place her trust in a man who could easily destroy her.

Michael Kelly has come to Lyndhurst determined to end the war between himself and another brother of the night. For 300 years he has existed in life's shadows, gradually learning to control the life from death cravings of a vampire. Nikki not only breaches his formidable barriers with her psychic abilities, but makes Michael believe he may finally have found a woman strong enough to walk by his side and ease the loneliness in his heart. But will his love be enough to protect her from a madman hell-bent on revenge? Or will it drive her into his enemy's deadly trap?

Only together can they overcome the evil threatening to destroy them both. But the secrets they keep from each other might prove to be the greatest threat of all.
